It's only virtual money anyway, I've been multi-millionaire in monopoly startup money a few times myself! I bet that if you have stayed an had been worth anything, they'd have made life impossible for you to try to grab that 3% back over your dead body (if possible). I was explaining a little while back to a Junior that the only way to leave a project is when you think your integrity is intact. Don't leave earlier, or later. If you do that, in 10 years when you think about it, you won't have any regrets because it'll still be the Right Thing to do.

Yeah and I did fine elsewhere, I'm OK. Not filthy rich but definitely FU money and then some. Completely agree on the integrity thing. I left SGI when I couldn't look people in the eye and say "yeah, you should come work here". And they tried to keep me, offered to double my salary and pay off my house if I agreed to stay for 10 years. I loved that company back in the day but I'm so glad I didn't stay, it would have been miserable.
